I’ll take it, Bomar. Bring it through Vburg one day, and I’ll buy you lunch too.
You have a permanent smile on your face?
amen.
Not really sure where to put this, so please advise if it needs to go somewhere else.
“Man, I really wonder how much my rig weighs...”
I’ve heard this a lot over the past years and seems to be increasingly common for people to ponder the weight of their rig. I’m in the same boat, so I started to “weigh” my options (buh-dumb-ching). I considered loading up my rig and going to the local landfill, offloading, and running the rig across the scales. Had every intention of doing this, but it’s a lot of hassle. Others thought about offloading at a Love’s or other truckstop with scales to weigh there. I only know of a person or two who has actually done that.
Then I started looking at racing scales. Man, they’re pretty pricey. Tabled that option for about a year or so but recently came back to it. Found a set of 7k-pound rated scales that are wireless and drive-up. Decided to cough up a lot of money and buy a set, and I’m pretty pleased so far. I’ve weighed a couple of rigs, and some were shocking.
Why do you care? Great question. I would like to offer this weigh service for other people so they too can kill that curiosity cat. Cost will be $50 per rig, with $10 of that going to the Arkansas Crawlers when at HSORVP and utilizing their concrete pad (which is where this will happen most often). This will allow you to show up where you’re going to show up anyways (offroad park), spend 5 minutes with me, and know exactly how much your rig weighs total as well as weight distribution at the corners. No need to load up and go find a scale - just come find me at the hours I’m set up. I believe I can email your results to you, but I won’t know for sure until I plug up the scales to a computer. At this time, you can take a photo of your weight, or I’ll have pen and paper to write it down for you.
To start this off, I’ll offer a FREE rig weigh to the person who get closest to guessing the overall weight of my rig. Toyota-based truggy with 4 cylinder, manual trans, duals, linked front and rear, 40” stickies, blah blah blah. Deadline to enter is Friday, December 22nd at midnight. All you have to do is comment below with your guess in pounds.
I will be at HSORVP on Saturday, December 30th to weigh rigs. Will be available from 8-9AM, and around lunchtime (12ish to 1:30ish? Depending on demand - find me before to let me know you’re interested).
Comment below your guesses, and let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!

Lots of weight in Blah Blah Blah but I’m thinking 2890
I inherited a set of those scales from Jim. Sold them here local and that guy died too. Hope you didn’t end up with that set ;>)

With or without fuel?
With fuel. I think it's about an 8-gallon cell.
I bought these brand new off the internets, Nolen. Hopefully they won't get me dead
